The title explains it all.

I had requested sandwich_pal22 to write a slow dance and she wrote a wonderful Oneshot, go check her book out if you haven't. This is another version, different song ;)

This is actually like an extract from my fic 'Untitled' but I edited it and made it into a separate one-shot.

Hope you enjoy it and it gives you a little positive vibes in this negative atmosphere ❤️

It was Harry's birthday and Louis had planned a big surprise party.

And with the party over, the couple stood in the kitchen with Louis' face pressed against Harry's back, arms around his waist while Harry made them tea before they went to bed.

"Thank you so much again Boo."
"I'd be a terrible boyfriend if I didn't do anything for your birthday."
"Fiancé." Harry gladly corrected him- Louis had proposed to him that very night. "And I would have been happy with just cuddles. As long as I got to spend the day with you." Harry smiled goofily.
"Sap." Louis laughed and poked Harry's dimple.
"Your sap." Harry grinned. Louis realised that he had left out one gift. He reached out for the knob and turned off the stove.

"Hey why'd you do that?"
"I have another surprise for you."  Louis said and covered Harry's eyes with his palms. 

"Another one? You're going to spoil me, Lou."
"I'm only treating you, darling, it's your birthday for god sake!" 

Louis lead him to their room.

"Keep your eyes closed, I'll tell you when to open them 'kay?"
"Okay." Harry chuckled.

"Now, open your eyes!" Louis says excitedly.

Harry let out a small gasp. 

Louis held a gorgeous periwinkle dress in his hands. With a white floral print, a ruffled trim, long-sleeved and pleated.

Harry's gasp and the following silence has Louis worrying. 

"I love you so fucking much," He finally said, all dimples.

"Thank god! I thought you didn't like it! Gave me a scare over there love."

"I love it!" Harry says hugging Louis tightly, Louis' feet dangling in the air.

"Wear it quickly, I've been dying to see you in this," Louis says. "I've never seen you in a dress before hmm?"
"Dramatic much?" Harry chuckled and took the dress from him. "Go out and wait."

"But why?" Louis protested as Harry pushed him out of the room.

"Element of surprise dumbhead, wait outside."
"Fine." Louis fake-groaned as the door closed.

"Ready?" Harry called out after a while.
"Yes!"

He stepped out of the room.

The dress reached his knees and fit him perfectly. A flower-crown with small white flowers rested on the top of his head, long brown curls framed his face perfectly. His palms balled into fists as he gripped the edges of the sleeve, eyes glinting with happiness and cheeks rosy as he shyly bit on his bottom lip, glowing in the dimmed room.

Needless to say, Louis' breath was taken away.

"You look so gorgeous angel," Louis whispered as he reached out and tucked a loose curl behind his ear. "Perfect," he added as he brushed their lips together.

He intertwined their fingers and took him to the centre of the hall as the timed music he had set began to play.

"May I have this dance?" He asked extending his arm.
"You may," Harry giggled and took his hand.

(A.N The story is NOT set in 2020 but I really wanted to use this song so play along peasants)

I want you to know
I'm a mirrorball
I'll show you every version of yourself tonight
I'll get you out on the floor
Shimmering beautiful
And when I break it's in a million pieces

Louis had his arms on Harry's waist while Harry had his hands around Louis' neck as they moved to the music.

Hush
When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you

Louis smiled. "Spin?" He asked. Harry giggled and nodded and Louis spun Harry around whilst being stood on his tip-toes.

Hush
I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you

"How'd you know?" Harry asked curiously.
"The day you dragged me to the mall? I was already outside the changing room when you were checking the dresses,"
"Oh," Harry's cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red.

I want you to know
I'm a mirrorball
I can change everything about me to fit in
You are not like the regulars
The masquerade revelers
Drunk as they watch my shattered edges glisten

Hush
When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you
Hush
I know they said the end is near
But I'm still on my tallest tiptoes
Spinning in my highest heels, love
Shining just for you

They stared into each other's eyes, smiles permanently etched on their faces as they swayed to the music.

And they called off the circus
Burned the disco down
When they sent home the horses
And the rodeo clowns
I'm still on that tightrope
I'm still trying everything to get you laughing at me
I'm still a believer but I don't know why
I've never been a natural
All I do is try, try, try
I'm still on that trapeze
I'm still trying everything
To keep you looking at me

"Spin again love?"

Because I'm a mirrorball
I'm a mirrorball
I'll show you every version of yourself
Tonight

"Thank you, for everything," Harry whispered and Louis held him closer.

Louis doesn't reply but connected their lips instead.

Every kiss meant much more than just the physical touch. The intimacy between them, the trust they had stored in eachother, the faith that bound them together, the strength that lead them through every up and down.

And their love that blossomed more with each passing second.

"I love you." Harry whispered against Louis' lips.
"And I, you."
